Yep, really coming down here, too. Just came in from an hour wrestling match with the driveway. Thank goodness my eighteen year old son is here to help with the 3' drifts.~Joe, in Penfield near the Webster border.

Just spent 40 mins outside snow shoeing. Snowing harder than heck and the wind is biting and visibility is nil at times. Getting a good measurement is tough, but I'd say sans the 2ft + drifts we got around 10" in NE Fairport.

Seems like they nailed the timing and behavior of the storm and we will come in on the low end of the targeted ranges. Good forecast.

Seriously do you want to go through another day like Wednesday. For those of us who could not make it home due to white out conditions, and travel advisories -- spent the night in a local hotel. You got your big storm, celebrate it, and then lets move onto Spring.

East-west roads quite vulnerable tonight and tomorrow morning. Rts. 104, 31 in Wayne County, Parkway, Thruway, etc. due to north winds. Snow will taper, but the top layer is light and fluffy and will be blown around easily.

Well the Flower City finally received its first Blizzard in 15 years. Mark that down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROW ROW BACK TO POWAH!!! The whole building audibly erupted in cheers when it happened. I will remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when the grand moment arrived. In the several hour gap with no power there were glowsticks, beer and roommates passing gas like it was the last day they would ever be able to do so. The snow immediately outside of my window in the southwest corner of the building looks very deep, don't know how much actual accumulation there is here but it has to be a good deal over a foot. I must say, the whole buildup to this storm coupled with the sudden bump in modeled strength and the actual outcome have combined to make this storm a very memorable one for me, and an excellent finale to a great winter season. I know there might be one or two more snow chances over the next few weeks, but I'll just call those "epilogues" if they pan out for us. For me at least, the fruitful novel of the 2013-2014 winter season has concluded its final chapter.

It's still snowing here and it looks like there is still a decent stretch of lake effect to get through. 15.5 inches so far at KROC, I'm betting that'll be up near 17 or 18 by the end. I'd say around 16 here, some of the cars are about 70 percent buried thanks to drifting. And then there is that lonely 4 foot drift surrounded by grass on all sides...

We actually have a shot at that record of 17.4". Also looking at the airport obs, 7 straight hours of blizzard conditions, 10 straight hours of Heavy Snow reported, and a peak gust of 49 mph... Unreal day.

Just in from plowing, back at it at 3am. I was not that impressed. I would rank it third this season in Hamlin. There has been more snow and worse drifting in two earlier storms. Visibility was reduced but never truly zero. It was a decent storm but I myself would NOT consider it a blizzard.

If it was a blizzard I would say Hamlin typically ends up with two or three blizzard every season. I guess it is all about perspective.

I am not complaining it was a good storm.

BTW, it was not me earlier, my plow truck never exceeds 35 and most of the time its under 30.

Yes, I agree it did meet the criteria and it is not an opinion. Maybe I should have just said I was not impressed with this storm as a Blizzard when compare to the 1993 or the 1999 Blizzards. I was not bashing forecast's, just stating that Blizzard conditions are VERY common to the north Hamlin area, much of which are worse than this particular storm.

Last thing before I finally get some sleep. Everyone who freaks out and cries BUST before the storm is over, this is the second storm in a row where the wrap around deformation zone got some serious juice from the lake. Never under-estimate lake enhancement with these storm tracks... Peace out

The LES is about done and winds are letting up some, time to cleanup. I think I am throwing in the towel, enough 3am plow calls for one season. It could stop snowing today and I would have no problem with ending the season with that storm. To bad mother nature has the final say.

For all those complaining that ROC "never" gets any significant snowstorms, they always miss us to the east, or we get warm side of a Great Lakes cutter, I hope they remember this winter…I believe yesterday's storm was the 6th storm this winter in excess of 10" of snowfall.

For those who kept talking about how we always miss out on the big storms, and we never get anything. Interesting how those of you have failed to post about the hours of shoveling you have done, the difficult road travel conditions yesterday afternoon and last night.

The City is now asking residents who have not other choice but to park on the street to remove their cars. Have they driven around to see how buried in the snow many cars are, and for some it will truly take several hours to just shovel to the point they will be able to even move their car.

Hats off to the snow plowers who did an AWESOME job last night and overnight. The roads though not perfect were drivable and passable (with caution). THANK YOU!!!!

Please don't post about another possible storm next week, and I have already begun to see some points from bloggers asking about next week. We truly need to see Spring and get back the snow and cold. See Wednesday as winters say of saying "goodbye for the season, and I've left you this gift to remember me during the Spring, Summer, and Fall months.

Not to gloat, but I've been saying all along we will definitely hit 100" this season, and that it would be a huge statistical aberration if we didn't. Well as of EOD yesterday we were at 101."

I also said we'd need a big March storm to hit 110" which was my target range I set back in mid December of 110"-120" for the season. I think at this point 110" will be reached without problem as it would be an aberration if we didn't get at least 9" more before it's done.

Nothing magic about my predictions, just using 73 years of weather history and analyzing patterns, rather than using gut feel and emotion as some do.

This has been a great SNOWY WINTER!

With that said, if I could flip a switch and turn on spring weather starting next week, I would most certainly would.

Minus the two big warm ups (one pre-Xmas, one mid-January, shorter one late February), this was a winter for the ages. We all got used to lows in the single digits and below 0, which is not typical for an ROC winter.

Up at my camp in Oswego Co, those meltdowns had less impact. We've been riding snowmobiles every weekend up there for over THREE MONTHS now, and there's still another couple of weeks left in the season regardless of temps. I believe they've had 250" in that area, 300"+ just north of there in higher terrain. Snowbanks are up past the window sills from snow coming off the roof.

Still, it is those warm ups that the winters of 2010-11 and 02-03 did not have that make them #1, 2 in the past decade, and this one #3.

I think every snow lover was happy with this storm and our winter overall. Somehow I do sense the longing for not just a blizzard, but a monster blizzard. You know, the big one, 30 plus inches in a storm that lasts for days. Those kinds of storms usually only happen once or twice in a generation. I experienced the blizzard of 1966, which basically shut the city down for a week. Back then as a kid, I loved being out of school for a week, plus being a snow lover, I was in my glory. As much as I would love to see that kind of historic storm again, I have mixed emotions, as a storm of that magnitude has it's bad side, with loss of life, income from not working etc. I lost an uncle during the blizzard of 1966, who suffered a heart attack walking to work because the plows couldn't clear the streets. Because the ambulance and other emergency vehicles couldn't get to him in time because of the storm, they had no chance to revive him, or get him to a hospital in time. My excitement over the storm quickly turned into wishing it had never hit.
